Little children in Europe stretching out their hands help and h^pe!
The National Council of Jew¬ ish Women announces that Columkius twenty-one overseas children h:ive been taken for adoption by mail. New histories and photographs of little tots in need of help have just been received by Mrs. E, J, Gordon, Chairman of Service to Foreign Born,
The following is quoted from a letter sent from Paris, France, dated May 15, .1946;
"We thank you most kindly for your letter of April 24 anci' for having placed the fifes oft *\fte 'oWtWr^n, .v^eMstt;;,yp\V,i,'W$ are:i.Mai0'^^hlsmwf4Mtii^tti^a§; chlldreli:'¦wlli*:na'*'a (Boine^^ care for thein, the feeiiiig thai; they are not all alone lit the world.
We have selected ten more children am'ong our wards, who are all alone in the world, their parents having been deported and who need chiefly a inoral help, the feeling that no matter In which part of the world, there is a friend- thinking and caring for tham- and their destiny.
Our children need mainly clothing, underweat;-, shoes, handkerchiefs, towels, socks, tialhing suits and of course, they are always happy getting candies or chocolate, all articles not to be actually found in Krance."
Won't you adopt one ot these little children'? The only assis¬ tance necessary is to send them parcels of fooil, clothing—any¬ thing that would make their lives a little brighter and hap¬ pier.
There ar^.- also five Spanish Jewish furnllies who are living in France with the' borders now closed to them. They cannot re turn to ihtM' homes. They ate desperately in need of help.
Contact Mrs, E. J. Gordon AD. 0895 for the names and ad dresses of these little childien and families.
Leaders and workers in both the Men's and Women's Divisions of the Annual United Jewish Fund Campaign pushed forward on all fronts this past week in the import¬ ant task of raising the largest quota in local history. Tiiey realize that immediate large-scale assistance must be pro¬ vided to assure the survival of the Jewish people in Eur¬ ope thru the three major agencies. The Joint Distribution Committee, United Palestine Appeal and National Refugee Service. Columbus Jewry as, well as those thruout Amer¬ ica mourns the 6,000,000 Jews of Europe who died and d^d- itates itself to rescuing the 1,400,000 who survived. This undertaking will be the most courageous chapter in the history of our people.
Heads of this year's drive expressed confidence that the remainder of the quota (about 25%) will be raised during the coming weeks and that an all-time record will be made in local fund-raising efforts. The workers were, however, cautioned not to be overconfident and let down in their efforts to canvass every Jewish family in the com¬ munity. I. W. Garek, General Chairman, and his able as¬ sistant Harry R. Roth, Organization Chairman, while elat¬ ed over the progress of the drive to date, stressed that the 25% of the goal is still to be reached and that this was the most difficult job to complete.
